A reliable source has cleared up some rumors about what led to Sunday morning’s fight between Rihanna and Chris Brown.

Although we don’t know what the couple was arguing about, a source told us that Chris wasn’t the first one to throw a punch. 

According to our source, reports that Chris was mad at Rihanna because she gave him herpes are also untrue.

And contrary to what Life & Style has reported, we hear that Chris and Rihanna were not fighting Friday night at Boulevard 3 nightclub in Hollywood.

Chris has been advised not to talk about the incident, and his camp will issue a press release in the coming days.
